Out of all his identity which are still a matter of debate on context of degree of harm towards this nation, this veteran politician is doing so many good things for this Bengali nation. He is managing many orphanage centres in Bangladesh. He is managing a NGO which is benefiting farmers. Just after the government his NGO is the biggest one in the village level poor farmers. His NGO provided deep tube well to farmers and every year holding training for the farmers which have been appreciating by all governments in Bangladesh. He is managing every year many dory less marriages among poor in Bangladesh. He is running Darul Arabia which is publishing an Arabic monthly news paper which has well demand by worldwide Arabic spoken people. His tireless afford placing Bangladesh in a honourable position to the Arabian world. Maulana A.K.M. yousef is a father of 7 children (3 son 4 daughter). His two son is PhD holder are living in USA. He has seventeen grand children, of whom 3 are studying in USA with full scholarship, on in Yale, one in Harvard and another one somewhere in the states (where I have forgotten). All of his 4 daughter's husbands are famous doctors some of them are contributing their expertise in Bangladesh. He has helped numerous Madrasha to get help from international sources. Still any Madrasha in Bangladesh wants help from international sources they required a letter from Maulana for easy access. Maulana have been doing politics in the British Period, Pakistan Period and in Bangladesh period. I believe he is the only long lived politician in Bangladesh. Not only Maulana A.K.M. Yousef, all the veteran Pakistani politician in 1971 (accept AL)caused their support only for a greater Muslim Ummah but not divided one with less power and less commandant internationally.

Subject: [TriTioMatra] Part:2: War criminal and Collaborator: A K M Yousuf (Acting Ameer of Jamaat)
MAULANA A K M YOUSUF, village-Rajoir, Thana-Saran Khola, District-Bagerhat. Presently he is the acting Ameer of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh. He was one of the leading anti-liberation organizers during the 1971 war. As part of his role in the anti-liberation activities he became a member of Malek cabinet during the war. After the liberation war AKM Yusuf was arrested on charge of collaborating with Pakistan army and sentenced with many other members of Malek cabinet.
He first formed 'Razakar Bahini' comprising 96 members of Jamaat-e-Islami in Khulna district. He became the leader of the Jamaat well before the freedom War started. He started his anti-Bangladesh role and cooperating the Pakistani forces as soon as the war began on March 25. His responsibilities were to issue statement, organize the anti-liberation forces and lead attacks, killing, looting and arson by his groups. He also helped the members of the Pakistani forces to do the same.
His statements published in the newspapers where he opposed the liberation war and urged the collaborators to resist the pro-liberation forces. On October 10, 1971, this anti-liberation leader praised activities of the Razakars in a public rally and said, "we will have to make the people understand that the so-called Bangladesh concept is created by Indian authorities is valueless. Naxalaits, separatists and criminals are trying to create anarchy in this part of the country. They should be ousted by root." (Genocide '71, Muktijuddha Chetana Bikish Kendra, Dhaka, February 1987).
On October 26, at a gathering in Sylhet, he said, "a section of ignorant youths inspired by Indian propaganda has been unleashing separatist activities on our land. You spread over every nook and corner of the country to resist this movement and uproot the concept of so-called Bengali nationalism". He warned the allied forces saying, "Had there been any war imposed on them, then heroes of Razakar and soldiers would face with all courage." On November 12, 1971, he praised the Razakar activities while visiting Razakar camps in Shatkhira. He commented, "the Razakars have been doing their best to resist the spies and intruders of India". He also assured the Razakars that he would provide them with government jobs.
On November 28, while he was discussing with newsmen in Karachi, Yousuf said that the Razakar have been working hand in hand with the soldiers. He demanded supply of modern arms to the hands of razakars to eliminate freedom fighters. "now the number of Razakar and Al-shams stood to some 1 lakh. Apart from them, there were Mujahid bahini also. They all are in guarding the borders along with the soldiers. The razakars have been operating successfully resulting in reduce of criminal activities". (Ibid)
Guljan Bibi, a mother of martyr Shahid Seikh, informed that one Razakar Khaleq Member asked her son to join in the Razakar Bahini during the monsoon of freedom War. As Shahid rejected his proposal, the member called him out a month after. On the same day she learnt that her son was handed to the Pakistani forces. Later she rushed to the founder of the Razakar force, Maolana A K M Yousuf and requested him to free his son. At that time Khaleq Member was also with Yousuf who turned down her request. Guljan Bibi did not get her son back, later she came to learn that Pakistanis killed her son. Guljan demanded trial of her son's killing.
Yousuf along with his associates Khaleque and Adam Ali had killed number of males and females during the war. They raped many women. These information were disclosed by the citizens of Khulna, but still after 24 years of independence they are tight lipped for the sake of their own security. One of them told the commission that Yousuf forced many people from his own area Morelganj to join in the Razakar force. He forced them to work against the liberation war.
Yousuf's headquarters was the then 'Ghost House' which is now being used as district Anasr camp. This camp was the prime torture centre. Apart from this they used to torture the freedom-loving people at Khulna Shipyard, Bhashani Biddalaya and many other camps. They also killed people at such places wherever they felt comfortable. They handed over the innocent Bengalis to Pakistani Army stationed at the prime camp Circuit House, and other makeshift camps at Helipad, Naval base, hotel Shahin, Asiana Hotel etc. The Razakar and other fundamentalist forces maintained regular connection with the camps. They used to kill the people at Gallamari, forest Ghat, Station road and some other places.
